Update: Mike Klis of The Denver Post reports that the Denver Broncos promoted Don Martindale from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator. Martindale is replacing Mike Nolan who left after one season and is now defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins. He becomes the Broncos' fifth defensive coordinator in five years. "Wink definitely deserves this," said Broncos coach Josh McDaniels. "He's earned this opportunity. Our system won't change, our philosophy won't change. He's a very aggressive coach. This is a great day for the Denver Broncos."

Fantasy Impact: Martindale, 46, has been a linebackers coach since arriving in the NFL in 2004 with the Oakland Raiders. He has not been a defensive coordinator since 2003 at Western Kentucky.

Update:  Trey Wingo of ESPN is reporting on his Twitter page, that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner has called a press conference for Friday at 3pm PST where he is expected to retire from the NFL. 

Fantasy Impact:  The Cardinals seem set to go with Matt Leinart at QB next season, and give the former USC standout a chance to show he can be a starter in the NFL.  

Update:  Brad Briggs of the Chicago Sun Times is reporting that the Bears are likely to re-sign linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa for the 2010 season.

Fantasy Impact:  A knee injury limited the linebacker to just two games this past season, and he has been banged up in each of his last three years.  

Update: After being bounced from the playoffs by the Saints, the Favre retirement speculation has begun. Favre's brother Scott, has told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that Brett injured both of his wrists, both of his ankles, a leg and suffered a bruised head in the Vikings loss to the Saints last Sunday. He also says he does not believe Brett will retire because of his "special bond" with Minnesota's receiving corps.

Fantasy Impact:  Let's not make excuses here Scott.  Brett tossed a crucial interception at the end of regulation, and didn't get back on the field.  Come August when training camp is over Brett will want to be back out there, and the Vikings will almost certainly take him back.

Update: TMZ.com is reporting that Rams running back Steven Jackson has been accused of a domestic violence incident dating back to March of 2009.  In the accusation, Jackson apparently beat his pregnant girlfriend.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson's girlfriend, Supriya Harris has filed a criminal complaint with the Las Vegas Police Department.  This is an interesting situation given she waited so long to do so.

Update: Jamison Hensley of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Baltimore Ravens need to replace former quarterbacks coach Hue Jackson, who agreed to become the Oakland Raiders' offensive coordinator Tuesday. The Ravens are expected to look at Jim Zorn and Al Saunders for a position that will be important in developing second-year quarterback Joe Flacco.

Fantasy Impact: Under Jackson, Flacco has had the fifth-most productive first two seasons in NFL history, with 6,584 yards, behind Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Drew Bledsoe and Jeff Garcia.

Update: Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Chicago Bears received permission to interview Minnesota Vikings' quarterbacks coach Kevin Rodgers this week. Rogers, 58, spent most of his coaching career in college football, most notably developing Donovan McNabb at Syracuse. Rogers just wrapped up his fourth NFL season. He may want to remain in his current position because Vikings coach Brad Childress received an extension through the 2013 season.

Update: John Clayton said on ESPNEWS on Tuesday that the Minnesota Vikings will make a play for Philadelphia Eagles' QB Donovan McNabb if Minnesota Vikings' QB Brett Favre walks. He thinks that the Vikings might be willing to trade the No. 62 overall pick for McNabb. The Eagles will be asking for a first-rounder.

Fantasy Impact: McNabb's old quarterbacks coach at Syracuse is now in the same position with the Vikings.

Update: Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Minnesota Vikings' CB Cedric Griffin is expected to have surgery to repair a torn ACL next week. Griffin sustained an injury to his left knee in the overtime loss against the New Orleans Saints in the NFC title game on Sunday. "[He] has to get some strength back and some range of motion back before they'll go ahead and do that surgery," said coach Brad Childress in Tuesdays news conference. "Those are typically six-to-nine month deals. Everybody heals a little bit differently. So he'll be right on the edge I'm sure."
